The apocalypse arrived. Ghosts and monsters ran rampant, and humans began awakening supernatural abilities.
Xi Yan was an ordinary person with no abilities. He smiled all day, was pretty and obedient, and seemed to have no schemes... Yet somehow, he was kept in the Special Monitoring Room of the Anomaly Management Bureau.
One day, a newcomer arrived at the Anomaly Management Bureau: the widely renowned powerhouse who controlled the anomalies in one region, the cold-faced ghost master Zhou Jiuci, known for his ruthless decisiveness.
He'd been there for only a second when Xi Yan set his sights on him, smiling as he sidled up, pinched the King of Hell's waist, and greeted him.
"Hello, handsome."
He used every trick he could think of to get the staff to assign him and Zhou Jiuci to the same mutual-surveillance team
This seemingly innocent, beautiful man appeared to have latched onto the ghost master, causing the powerful ability user everyone avoided to be punished time and again because of him.
…
The annoying broadcast rang out again.
[Xi Yan, for maliciously damaging public property and carrying a weapon outside, you are sentenced to solitary confinement. Your partner Zhou Jiuci is sentenced to an electric shock with ability-disrupting force.]
Again.
Zhou Jiuci's expression turned completely cold this time.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was around, he used his ability to block out the surroundings and cornered Xi Yan in a confined space...
He pinned the startled man against the wall, the tip of his nose against Xi Yan's neck. His eyes narrowed dangerously as he asked with a smile,
"What are you after...? Do you know these people's punishments weaken my abilities?"
"I want to escape."
Xi Yan turned his head to meet Zhou Jiuci's dark gaze, smiling and utterly unapologetic.
"I'm not a monster, so of course I have to find a way out."
Zhou Jiuci stared at him without expression. After a long silence, he smiled, let go, and leaned against the wall, lowering his eyes as electricity curled around his fingertips.
"Behave yourself, and I'll get you out."
Xi Yan's eyes lit up. Smiling, he clapped his hands as if his scheme had succeeded.
"I knew you'd have a way!"
"But there's one condition..."
Zhou Jiuci suddenly stood and moved close to Xi Yan. He gripped Xi Yan's cheeks with one hand, then leaned in with a smile, his gaze dangerous and enticing.
"What's the point of mutual surveillance?"
He turned and pressed the man against the side of the bed, his smile wicked.
"Be my lover, and we'll sign..."
"A shared-confinement contract."
